Giraffe Of Great Heights

I wanted to make something cool and quirky for my niece and nephew (who will be 2 soon)and decided a height chart would be fun. So, I made a giraffe pattern and used a tape measure for measuring (obviously) alongside which I've sewn a strip of cotton so they can write on the dates and their initials at different heights. I appliqued on felt for the eyes and nostrils. The fleece is from a blanket I got from a cheapy shop.
